(一)目前的多重检测技术主要是检测显色染料、金属同位素、荧光基团等发出的信号来达到检测标志物的目的。各个mIHC/IF平台的工作原理图(Diagram showing mechanism of each of the mIHC/IF platform)如图1所示:

(二)现有的多重检测技术可同时检测5-40+标志物,不同成像平台的比较(Overview and comparison of the different imaging modalities)如表1所示:

mIHC/IF of pancreatic adenocarcinoma FFPE sections labelled with DAPI (blue), CD73 (green), CD8 (yellow), CD68 (red), FoxP3 (cyan), CD3(magenta) and CK (orange) were scanned using the Vectra imaging system.
-
Mouse pancreas FFPE sections labelled with CD45 (brown), CD274(green), CD3e (purple), CD4 (cyan), CD8a (pink), CD11b (yellow), CD31 (darkbrown), CD326/EpCAM (red), B220 (orange), F4/80 (blue), NK1.1 (purple), Pan-CK(maroon), Hoechst 33342 (dark blue) were scanned using the Chip cytometry imaging system.
-
Cholangiocarcinoma FFPE sections labelled with CD20 (blue), CD8(red), CD68 (turquoise), CD3 (yellow) were scanned using the DISCOVERY ULTRA imaging system.
(四)IMC技术最大的优势在于可同时检测40+标志物,图3为人体组织切片IMC图像示例(Representative IMC images of human tissue sections):

(五)mIHC/IF图像分析仍然面临很多挑战,现有的解决方案各有优劣势,其中HistoCAT、QuPath属于开源的分析软件,常用的mIHC/IF 图像分析平台(Some of the commonly adopted analytic platforms for mIHC/IF)优劣势比较如下:

(六)Ultivue’s InSituPlex可使用普通的荧光显微镜成像,不需要配置昂贵的显微镜,因此可在大部分实验室开展检测。图4为人体组织样本Ultivue’s InSituPlex图像示例(Representative Ultivue’s InSituPlex images of human tissue samples labelled with CD8 (green), CD68 (yellow), PD-L1 (red) and CK/Sox10 (cyan)):

(七)目前已研究过多种mIHC/IF Panel,通过同时分析多个标志物来预测患者接受PD-1/PD-L1抑制剂治疗的应答反应。Meta分析中使用mIHC/IF技术的文献清单(List of papers using mIHC/IF in the meta-analysis)如下:

综上所述,mIHC/IF在肿瘤免疫治疗领域具有广阔的应用前景。与传统的IHC只能检测一个标志物不同,mIHC/IF能够在单个组织切片中检测多个标志物,同时提供有关细胞组成和空间排列的全面信息,使我们能够更深入地了解癌症的发病机制和对免疫治疗的反应。同时mIHC/IF技术处理的组织样本可以长期保存,供进一步研究使用。但是,这类技术的检测成本及实用性方面,仍然是一个值得关注的问题。
